Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S review
NIKKOR AF-S 28-300mm VR II: High Performance, High Quality Telephoto Zoom
Building on the popularity and versatility of broad focal range lenses, the
new NIKKOR AF-S 28-300mm VR II is Nikon?€™s first FX-format lens with
a 10.7x zoom range ideal for enthusiasts and professionals. The AF-S
28-300mm VR II is the all-in-one optical solution that is ideal for
capturing landscapes, portraits and distant subjects. This lens is
optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both FX and DX-format digital SLR
cameras, and has an equivalent focal length of 42-450mm when attached to a
DX-format digital SLR. Its optical formula includes two ED glass elements
that effectively minimize chromatic aberration, even at the widest aperture
settings, as well as three Aspherical Lens Elements that virtually
eliminate coma and other aberrations at wide aperture settings. This high
performance lens also incorporates an M/A Focus Mode Switch that enables
quick changes between manual and autofocus operation, and Internal Focus
(IF) providing fast and quiet autofocus without changing the length of the
lens while retaining working distance through the focus range. Exclusive
